1. if you don't installed your HDD as Primary Master
2. If you installed LILO on Linux Partition, verify that the start of the partition
cylinder does not exceed 1024 cylinder ( not all lilo version support more than 1024 cylinder ). You can verify that by typing as root
#fdisk /dev/hd_X -l
And look carefully start of the partition cylindr carefully

You could configure your /etc/lilo.conf with with your partitions or hard disks to boot and then (as root) make /sbin/lilo and your MBR will be overwrite with LiLo<<<<

Hi all, i want to know if I'm using grub or lilo in a specific machine. I
cannot reboot it.
I know grub is installed and is configured properly for the new kernel (i
know this is a very strong clue).
But I know also that this machine was initially installed with lilo.
My question is: Is there a way to read the master boot record and gather
informations that prove wich boot loader is configured there?
I have found a little bash script on the internet who unsuccessfully tries
to do this:
#!/bin/bash
#Attention: this didn't work for me!!
dd if=/dev/hda bs=1024 count=1 | grep GRUB
if [ $? = 0 ]; then
echo "GRUB"
else
echo "not GRUB"
fi
I noticed it doesn't work since i ran it in a system wich I'm shure is
installed with grub and I ran it on the correct boot device, /dev/sda1 in my
case, and it didn't find an! y GRUB string.
If someone knows any trick, let me know.
Thank you,
